If possible, would you be able to explain to me what a "Clique" is. I've never heard anyone use that word where I come from.

A clique is an exclusive group of people who share common interests, views, purposes, or patterns of behavior. A clique is a subset of individuals from a larger group, who are more closely identified with one another than the remaining members of the group, and who exchange something among themselves, such as friendship, affection, or information 7.

A clique has an informal structure, and it is composed of more than two people. All the members of the group have some type of relationship with one another, and thus the group is tightly knit together as a type of social network.

I get along with pretty much everyone in my grade...with just two exceptions. Yes, there are "cliques" for girls anyways. Guys don't really separate into groups or anything, they just "play" with each other at a random order. Girls, there is about....at least 5 that I know of in my grade. Some of them hate each other..but otherwise they got along fine. (well...kind of)

\/ Agreed! But for girls in my school, some "cliques" are random, some smarts, some stupids, some sports experts etc.

Ah, I see. Everyone in my year level, maybe even the whole school hates me because I'm different to most. I watch Anime, I listen to Metal, I like to walk the streets at night, just for those things I get treated like shit because most if not all people at my school refuse to do those things. So if anything, i'd just be a reject.

If you're not like me, which is very rare because everyone at my school tries to fit in with the crowd, you're either "Emo" or "Gangster". The Emos all hang out in one spot, make out and talk about My Chemical Romance. The Gangsters all go out on the field, play sports, give people like me shit and think that if you don't listen to rap music, you're gay.

There's some people that I guess you could refer to as "Geeks" who hang out at the library and play chess at lunch times, I'm not one of them either so I don't know what "Clique" I am.

My previous school was notorious for them. People rarely ventured out of their cliques especialy when the school district was rezoned and kids from lower income families started to come. I wasn't proud to be associated with that school...

Actually I remember a German exchange student asking why we acted so silly when it came to our cliques.

i've been in independent studies most of high school, but from what i noticed when i was, was that it was mostly separated by race. there was blacks, mexicans, asians, and pretty much everyone hung out in a certain section of the school. there were separate groups of whites though, like the punker kids, the bros, and the skaters were all separate.
